2. Imaginary Meadow Zine Exchange
Deadline: Friday, March 15
https://reciprocal.works/
Imaginary Meadow is an international zine exchange. Through an open un-juried call, Reciprocal invites creative people from all around the world to submit a zine! The concept for the exchange is simple -- over the next couple of months participants are asked to create a new zine. This could be illustrative, written word, design heavy, diary entries, philosophical entreaties, anything the participants can dream up! In short, the participants will make a zine, send Reciprocal 12 copies, then the participants will receive 10 zines from other creators. A final event for the Imaginary Meadow zine exchange will be held in Spring 2022! Supported in part by Ideas for Creative Exploration.

Field and Fragment: The Future of the Romantic Compositions from Basquiat to Beethoven
In the last two years of his life, Jean-Michel Basquiat began to include frequent allusions to Beethoven's Eroica symphony in his paintings and drawings, including in his late masterpiece, Pegasus (1987). This lecture focuses on these citations as a major thematic feature of Basquiat's late work, his mourning for Andy Warhol, and his reflexive engagement with his own signifying strategies. Addressing genre and differential repetition as formal mediations of ambiguous signs, not only in the context of Basquiat's compositions but also with respect to the rise of the symphony as a form, the lecture concludes by considering the relevance of the Haitian Revolution to Basquiat's reception of Beethoven's symphony and the cancelled homage to Napoleon on its original title page.

Gilbert Hall, Room 115
"Knowledge of Nothing: On Apocalyptic Ekphrasis in The Flowers of Evil"
In one of the key sonnets of Les Fleurs du mal, "Obsession," Baudelaire's speaker declares a resolute orientation toward the void:
How you would please me, o night! without these stars
Whose light speaks a language we know!
For I seek the void, and the black, and the bare!
Framing this orientation as the subtractive limit of spatial imagination in Baudelaire's work, this talk will consider the implications of such spatial negativity for the operation of ekphrasis. In particular, we will ask how certain works of apocalyptic ekphrasis enable Baudelaire to engage poetic impasses attendant upon figuring the void, and how ekphrastic representation might help us think through, from a literary perspective, the logic of negation.
